The mounting of the asbestos plate 12 prevents the upward flowof air exteriorly of the tube 10 and causes the air to flow upwardlythrough said tube and also prevents any excess oil that may. overflowfrom the trough 25 from entering the bottom of the stove S. When it isdesired to clean the oil supply pipe 13 and bore 19 in the central bodyportion 18 of the body head, the burner plate 27 is removed from theburner head and a suitable instrument may be inserted in the bore 19,ports 30 and pipe 13.

In the form of the invention illustrated in Figure 5, the flame spreaderplate 27a is connected to and supported upon the central body portion18a of the burner head by means of the fitted pipe 28a which projectsabove the spreader plate and permits access to the oil supply pipe 13awithout the necessity of removing the flame spreader plate 2711.

From the above detailed description of the invention, it is believedthat the construction and operation thereof will at once be apparent,and while there are herein shown and described the preferred embodimentsof the invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changesmay be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of theinvention as claimed.
